"An anonymous tip led police to the pair accused in a hit-and-run involving a 5-year-old Lancaster boy.Blaine Waters, 5, was struck by an SUV driven by Velez-Irizarry earlier this month in the 300 block of Ice Avenue after he ran out into the street. The incident was caught on tape by a nearby surveillance camera (see image below).Johnny Velez-Irizarry, 21, and Yaritza Rivera-Torres, 19, were arraigned in connection with the incident after they agreed to meet at a district justice office on Tuesday.Velez-Irizarry faces charges of accidents involving injury or death, tampering with evidence, criminal conspiracy, obstruction of administration of law or other government function, and operating during suspension.Rivera-Torres faces charges of tampering with evidence, criminal conspiracy, and obstruction of administration of law or other government function.The young victim and his family said they are feeling a sense of relief that the pair has been caught.Blaine Walters is back to kicking the ball with his sisters after a long recovery. The five-year-old was injured on June 7 while crossing the street in front of his home on Ice Avenue in Lancaster.His family is happy the two people are finally charged with the crime.\"What goes around comes around. We all knew they were going to catch them sooner or later. I'm glad it's sooner than later. He's happy about it,\" said Dusty Stively, Blaine's mother.No one answered the door of the accused couple's home. Rivera-Torres had a baby girl last week.Erin Potts, who is a relative of the victim, said she is not happy they are out on bail.\"It's kind of unnerving to know they are out on bail and he was driving under suspended license so he could be driving again right now,\" Potts said.Lancaster police said they got a break in the case after they released surveillance video of the 2002 blue Jeep Cherokee, recorded by a neighbor's cameras. An anonymous tip came in about the suspects.Police eventually located the SUV in a secured garage in the 600 block of West Fulton Street. They said Irizarry and Torres had removed the Pennsylvania license plate from the vehicle to try to prevent it from being identified.Irizarry's mother said she had little explanation for her son's apparent actions.\"Why did he do this? I don't know,\" Marisol Irizarry said.Marisol Irizarry did ask how the young boy is doing.Blaine had the 18-plus stitches in his leg removed on Friday.His mother still has the torn black denim shorts he was wearing at the time of the accident.\"If it wouldn't have caught his pants first, it would have done a lot more than what it did,\" Stively said.The incident did enough to make the young boy much more cautious, especially when he crosses the street, his mother said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
